sunbeams!

its official! parker no longer goes to nursery at church anymore. instead he is now a sunbeam in PRIIMARY! crazy right?!?! you have to turn 3 before january 1 to move into sunbeams and with parkers dec. 24 birthday, he is the youngest one in his class. i was nervous for him, but he has great teachers and they said he did great! 

he was so excited about his crown. 

he didnt want to take it off.

i teach the 6 year olds, so i sit just a few rows behind him and get to watch him misbehave have so much fun during singing and sharing time. *sigh* they grow up too fast.

speaking of too fast, little miss brooklynn is already 2.5 months old! at her two month check up last week she weighed in at 10 pounds 12 ounces. (parker at 2 months weighed 10 pounds 11 ounces) and she took her shots like a champ. she was much more sad afterwards than parker ever was with his shots, but we survived.

^i know, she isnt in pink.... shocking isnt it?!?

she really has the sweetest smile and her coos are adorable! she is such a different baby than parker its crazy. parker cried and cried and cried and cried. and always wanted to be held, ALWAYS. brooklynn hardly ever cries during the day and is so content to just hangout in her bouncy seat or swing. its another story come 7pm though. she usually cries from about 7pm-9pm every night. but thats okay, its usually after parker is in bed so i can solely focus on consoling her. and after being so good all day, i say cry away brooklynn, cry away!

her night time sleeping habits have been the same since day 1. we put her to bed between 9:30/10. we swaddle her up tight and lay her in her bed and she goes to sleep on her own. its awesome! then she usually wakes up once during the night to eat around 3am, (with NO crying) then up again around 7ish. not too shabby if i do say so myself.

definitely just noticed brooklynn is missing a sock in this picture!

parker was excited when i put brooklynn in his bed one morning.

parker is such a good big brother. he always wants to give her hugs and kisses and asks me multiple times a day to hold her. he of course has to do and be everywhere she is. im so glad this transition has been a smooth one for him. and i think now we are in our new normal routine and parker understands brooklynn is here to stay. two definitely keeps me busy!
